Sustainable development goals

The development of renewable energy infrastructures is directly or indirectly linked to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. In fact, the company’s High Impact Solutions approach helps to channel the necessary investment into projects that advance the global sustainable agenda.

ACCIONA Energía acts directly on social or environmental gaps identified in the perimeter close to its activities, such as gender equality, the incorporation of disadvantaged groups, entrepreneurship, lack of access to basic services such as water, energy or telecommunications, the regeneration of ecosystems or other benefits. The goal is to promote inclusive and integrated economic growth in the places where the company operates.
